Member Monday

Enjoy the museum all to yourself on a Monday when we’re closed to the public! This is your last chance to experience Ai, Rebel: The Art and Activism of Ai Weiwei before it closes. Already visited the exhibition? Come back and share the experience with a friend. There’s always more to discover the second time around.

Bring a friend for free (redeem onsite only), pick up a complimentary exhibition poster, and enjoy special programming throughout the day.
